Page 13.1115.6The following numerical values are used in the numerical computationsMx = 90kg, My = 120kg,Kx = 108 N/m, Ky = 108 N/m,Cx = 1900 N-s/m, and Cy = 2200N-s/mThe above damping values are based on a damping ratio of 1% of the critical dampingcalculated from the stiffness data. The mass and stiffness values correspond to that of atypical CNC machine. The stiffness values correspond to those of the lead screwsdriving the two tables. These values may vary somewhat from the nominal values, butfor this

Corporate Strategy.3 In his book Fusion Management, Stanley Marash notes that since the 1960’s more than 32quality programs have come and gone at an average of almost one per year. He further noted theemergence of a common pattern: “A few pioneer companies adopt or develop a program andachieve great success. The business press takes notice and other companies seek to emulate thepioneers. But as the idea spreads it becomes diluted. Senior management tries to adopt the modelwithout ever really comprehending what is required to make the program successful.”4 It appearsfrom the review of recent articles there is some lack of understanding regarding the evolution ofSix Sigma and Lean.What is Six Sigma?While Six Sigma began as a quality program at

software, further optimization is required by doing a series of testruns.Even for small-manufacturing runs, this approach can be applied. The performance baselinesmake a very good starting point to help use the machine’s capabilities fully. A well-plannedapplication of HPM can see a 50% or better cycle time reduction, increasing the manufacturingthroughput by a factor of two. The time expended in applying HSM methodologies pays offalmost immediately, since the performance gains can be applied to manufacturing processes forboth existing and new parts.Bibliography1.

Data is provided then and upon request, including pictures and videos if available.The team observes the plant operations, discuss the issues and company expectations, gatherrelevant data and information, and begin creation of the simulation. Additional plant visits andcompany communications are the responsibility of the students. A Gantt chart from MicrosoftProject is submitted weekly, and the professor monitors project progress.

layout. The established B-24 bomber facility was assembling anairplane a day, and there was felt a need to increase production to 25 bombers a day. Sorensen,using his 35 years of experience in designing and building manufacturing plants was able toenvision how the plant should be structured after an overnight thinking spree on the day he andEdsel Ford visited the old bomber manufacturing facility. The proposed macro-flow of the plantwas created by Sorensen on a piece of paper, and was accepted and signed by Edsel Ford.Eventually, the US Government funded the two-hundred million dollar manufacturing plant fromwhich 8,800 B-24’s rolled off the assembly line in six years with over 34 thousand employeesworking at its peak employment level of what

Afterthe first month of working to the prototype-development tasking, it became apparent thatadditional skill sets are needed. Three new engineering students and two microbiology majorswere added to the Team in January. Two of the new engineering students have assumed theassignment for testing, and the other is partnering in the process design task. The student(s) frombiological sciences support the material, coating and testing groups by providing moreknowledgeable input on such matters as bone growth mechanisms and
